Author Lisa Larson Gorum begins her exciting tale, writing, "It was a cool, crisp October morning, and Janice Jean (JJ) was sound asleep."

She continues, "She woke up to loud talking and noises coming from the backyard and ran to the window to see what was going on. As she breezed through the kitchen, Janice Jean turned to look and realized that Mama was cooking on the stove. One thing for certain, this little piggy just loved to eat! As she was thinking about her hungry tummy, she thought of her favorite food, and JJ was so happy to hear 'Janice Jean, grits!' Little Janice Jean just loved grits, but they had to have a lot of creamy butter with the perfect amount of salt, and Mama's always did! She gobbled down her grits so quickly she didn't even take time to savor the delicious breakfast Mama had prepared for her! She was so ready to hurry outside to see what all the excitement was about."
